Who is very good with balls?

Previously on The Amazing Race Maia: Twelve teams raced from Oxenryd to Kashykia. Some teams decided to test how graceful they were while others decided to help out the theater personnel in setting up a stage. Afterwards, one team member raced the streets of Maila to find the clue to the next pitstop. Lucy & Holly and the boxers incurred penalties, but in the end, Sirusho and Zhanar were the last to check in. Luckily, they were saved by a non-elimination leg. Will they fight their way to the top this leg? This is THE AMAZING RACE MAIA!

Mobile Pitstop: During the 12-hour pitstop period, teams travelled together to rural town of Ravnuja. This finally gave teams the opportunity to get to know each other. Here, Shelli & Monte secretly gave their spare express pass to Vera & Abi-Maria. A small friendship ensued between Tameka & Lin and Lucy & Holly. Sirusho & Zhanar, Julien & Jenni and Ben & Matt formed a small alliance. Even Tara & Jodie Peaches Bubbles Margaret Delores managed to bind a bit.

Route Info: Once their pitstop time was over, teams were instructed to find the abandoned monastery in Ravnuja to find their next clue. Here, with help of a letter-by-letter translation chart, teams had to translate a text from Alturi to English. The translated text would direct teams to Hyggenes, Klapaucius.

Route Info: On the Klapaucian airport, teams would search the Arrivals-lounge for their next clue, which told them to go to the stadium of the country’s biggest football club: Hyggenes Idrettslag. They would find their next roadblock right in the middle of the main field.

Speed Bump: Sirusho & Zhanar encountered their Speed Bump outside of the stadium. They had to find a cart in the gift shop of the stadium, take it outside, and sell 25 Klapaucian Dollars worth of merchandise before they could search their roadblock clue.

Roadblock: " Who is very good with balls?" The team member performing the roadblock would have to find 5 footballs of their team’s allocated colour underneath the 16.000 seats of the stadium. Once they had found all footballs, they would have to take penalty kicks against an amateur goalkeeper until they had scored five goals. The goalkeeper would then hand them their next clue. Six teams could take penalty kicks at the same time.

Teams completed the roadblock in the following order: 1 Vera & Abi-Maria (Abi-Maria) 2 Ben & Matt (Matt) 3 Nate & Gary (Nate) 4 Shelli & Monte (Monte) 5 Tameka & Lin (Lin) 6 Vasyl & Bodhan (Bodhan) 7 Julien & Jenni (Jenni) 8 Lucy & Holly (Lucy) 9 Tara & Jodie (Tara) 10 Sirusho & Zhanar 11 Ungto & Gurrko (Ungto) 12 Bella & Mortimer (Bella)

Route Info: Teams were instructed to take a train to Riverview, where they had to find their next clue in the harbour of the city. Teams took these trains:

1, departing at 17.28: Vera & Abi-Maria, Ben & Matt, Nate & Gary, Tameka & Lin 2, departing at 17.35: Shelli & Monte 3, departing at 17.46: Vasyl & Bodhan, Lucy & Holly, Sirusho & Zhanar, Ungto & Gurrko, Tara & Jodie 4, departing at 18.02: Bella & Mortimer, Julien & Jenni

Detour: Teams had to choose between “Eat” and “Drink”. Eat: Riverview has one of Maia’s leading fish harbours! Help out a fisherman and join them on the sea. You will help him in emptying his fish traps. Once he thinks you have caught enough for the day, he will bring you back to shore - and give you your next clue. Drink: Looking for some easier work? This detour won’t cause seasickness, that’s for sure. Riverview is also a massive producer of bottled mineral water and you get to be a part of that. For this detour, you will travel to the factory bottling water, where you will work on the assembly line until both of you have produced 500 bottles of water - each!

Teams completed the detour in this order: 1 Ben & Matt (Eat) 2 Tameka & Lin (Drink) 3 Nate & Gary (Eat) 4 Vera & Abi-Maria (Drink) 5 Sirusho & Zhanar (Eat) 6 Shelli & Monte (Eat) 7 Lucy & Holly (Drink) 8 Tara & Jodie (Eat) 9 Vasyl & Bodhan (Eat) 10 Julien & Jenni (Drink) 11 Ungto & Gurrko (Drink) 12 Bella & Mortimer (Drink)

Route Info: Teams were instructed to find their next pitstop in the Klapau Nature Museum. Bella & Mortimer managed to find the museum quickly while Nate & Gary and Julien & Jenni went to the wrong museum first. In the end, teams arrived at the pitstop in this order:

Tameka & Lin (First place) Vera & Abi-Maria (Second place) Ben & Matt (Third place) Lucy & Holly (Fourth place) Nate & Gary (Fifth place) Sirusho & Zhanar (Sixth place) Tara & Jodie (Seventh place) Shelli & Monte (Eight place) Ungto & Gurrko (Ninth place) Vasyl & Bodhan (Tenth place) Bella & Mortimer (Eleventh place) Julien & Jenni (Twelfth place; last)

''Julien and Jenni, you are the last team to arrive. I’m sorry to tell you that you have been eliminated from the competition.''
